This technique creates a soul receptacle to be used for the Edo Tensei technique as well as
an enhancing talisman to control or strengthen the summoned soul. This receptacle is
called seishinkugi.
Prepared Receptacle: The basic seishinkugi requires a corpse of the same species as the
intended creature with 1 hit dice for every 2 levels or hit dice of the intended creature and
takes 3 days to prepare (8 hours each day) and is attuned to the one creature only. This
seishinkugi will allow the summoned soul to fight to the full extent of its abilities.
After it is used, the seishinkugi deteriorates extremely quickly once the summoned soul
leaves it, leaving behind only the sacrificed body and a mound of dust.
Faux Body: The receptacle can instead be a faux body and is not attuned to a single
creature. If the summoned soul inhabits this seishinkugi, it cannot use spells or techniques
above rank 4 or C-Class complexity rating, and has one-quarter of its maximum hit points
and chakra pool, as well as no chakra reserve. See the faux body sealed item for more
details.
The talisman can have up to two components: a control component (partial or total), and
the immortal component. The control component takes 1 day to prepare, and the
immortality component takes 3 days.
The immortality talisman extends the summoning indefinitely and grants the summoned
soul it was made for the immortal subtype with the stipulation that it can only be killed
once the talisman's reconstruction power is discharged. The seishinkugi begins to
reconstructs when damaged, mending up to 10 hit points and regrowing lost limbs,
including the head, each round at the beginning of its turn. When reduced to 0 hit points,
the seishinkugi will be incapacitated for 1 round as it reconstructs and returned to
maximum hit points on its next turn. The immortality talisman will fuel this process
twice, and once discharged, the seishinkugi is destroyed when reaching 0 hit points.
A partial control talisman will allow the summoned soul to react normally and defend
when it is not commanded to and retain its personality, but it will also be able to resist
orders that go strongly against its nature, provoking a Will save against the Edo Tensei to
resist the command. A total control talisman will strip the summoned soul of its
personality and force it to obey orders without the slightest hesitation, but render it unable
to defend or react unless ordered otherwise.
The receptacle can be outfitted with any equipment the user has on hand, up to the
summoned soul's carrying capacity for a light load. When the receptacle reconstructs, it
returns to the state it was prepared for, including all equipment or articles of clothing lost.
After the receptacle is crafted, it is placed inside a coffin or container designated during
the crafting process, until summoned, where it is perfectly preserved for 1 month. If the
receptacle is not used within 1 month, or if the container is destroyed before the
summoning, it becomes unusable.
Empower
The user can spend an additional 10 points of chakra to empower the immortality
talisman, allowing the seishinkugi to reconstruct an additional time (maximum 10 times
total). Doing so increases the preparation time by 2 days and the XP cost by 25 per level
of the summoned soul each time.
Material Focus: 1 coffin or container, and 1 faux body (faux body receptacle) or drugs,
inks and other components worth wealth check DC 25 + 1 per extra day spent preparing
the receptacle (prepared receptacle).
XP Cost: A faux body receptacle costs 500 XP, while a prepared receptacle costs 1000
XP. A control talisman, partial or total, costs 500 XP, and an immortality talisman costs
50 XP per level of the summoned soul it was made for.
